Let’s get real. Once the holiday season is over, many Americans are still staring down another three or four months of wintry weather. Which means warm, cozy pajamas and loungewear are no-brainers for holiday gifts. Here we’ve rounded up six sets (three for men, three for women) that would make perfect presents for all different kinds of people on your list.For the Girl Who …Likes to Do Home Spa TreatmentsAdrienne Vittadini five-piece spa set ($34.99 on ideel)As a designer who got her start in knitwear, it’s not surprising that Adrienne Vittadini would be a natural at cozy loungewear. This five-piece set (which comes in baby pink or classic white) includes two loofahs, a headband, an eye mask, and a plush robe, the latter two of which are embroidered with what could easily be mistaken for a luxury spa logo.Scours the Web for Suicide Squad UpdatesUndergirl x DC Comics Women’s Lounge Romper ($27.99 on Groupon Goods)OK, so these DC-licensed PJs aren’t the warmest. But maybe your superpower is the ability to raise your body temperature. Or maybe you’ll just get plenty warm running around your apartment pretending to fly because, yes, of course these come with detachable capes.Asked Santa for a Ski TripRené Rofé long-sleeve thermal pajama set ($19.99 on ideel)René Rofé might be known for sexy lingerie, but these full-length PJs are just as cute. The Rudolph-red hue and snowflake print would look at home beside the tree on Christmas morning, and the thermal fabric would layer perfectly under ski pants.For the Guy Who …Reads GQ During His Daily CommuteKenneth Cole New York PJ set ($29.99 on ideel)A long-sleeved, V-neck tee gives this Kenneth Cole set a more modern look than the traditional button-down pajama top. Plus, there’s nothing warmer (or more comfortable) than drawstring flannel pants, which are still rather sophisticated in this grayscale color palette.Gets Out of Bed and Goes Straight to His Home GymMen’s Puma robes ($24.93 on Groupon Goods)Finding the motivation to get out of a toasty bed and do some WODs will be easier when he can wrap up in this robe first. Even if he has to leave the house to work out, this is a gym-locker must. Not only does Puma’s athletic-inspired design fit in at the gym, it also spares shyer guys the awkwardness of walking around the locker room naked.Asked Santa for a Surf TripKenneth Cole Reaction two-pack of square-neck tanks ($14.99) and jersey jam shorts ($14.99) on ideelThese shorts, with their Pacific-blue fabric, drawstring, and white trim at the pockets, are dead ringers for board shorts. The white tanks have a definite summery vibe as well, so they’d be perfect to toss in a Hawaii-bound suitcase.Keep warm with more apparel tips from the Groupon Guide:Which Winter Hat Is Right for You?Knee Socks That Are Surprisingly Stylish, Expectedly Long

It was one of the best worst fashion moments of all time. The scene: the 2001 American Music Awards. The culprits: Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, the era’s reigning Prince and Princess of Pop Music and Everything Else. The fashion faux pas: his-and-hers patchwork denim outfits. Despite the absolute awfulness of it (sorry, but, that hat), the look was immediately A Thing. A Thing people haven’t forgotten about—13 years later, Katy Perry and Riff Raff parodied it at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.But let’s not let two bad outfits spoil the trend.Head-to-toe denim doesn’t have to be a complete disaster. For proof, we consulted Cate Ryan of The Blues Jean Bar, who wholeheartedly agreed. “[Denim is] just that—an everyday staple,” she said. She finds the key to pulling off the look is to combine old favorites with modern fits and accessories.Here, Cate’s created three looks (two for women, one for men) that illustrate the right ways to go all denim. And don’t worry, none involve a denim cowboy hat.Look 1: Boy(friend Jeans) Meets GirlJenni is wearing a Joe’s Jeans bleached-out indigo top ($146); Mavi boyfriend jeans ($125); and Cheryl Rain Designs woven necklaces in red ($30–$44).As it turns out, Justin and Britney were actually headed in the right direction—sort of. One of Cate’s tips for nailing denim-on-denim is to juxtapose masculine and feminine pieces. “Strive for some imperfection,” she said, which in this case means wearing a boyfriend jean. “The comfortable [pair] that may have a few holes, probably numerous wrinkles, and a perfect, washed-out sky-blue hue.”To keep Jenni from looking too imperfect, she chose a pair that fit snugly. “Don’t buy a boyfriend jean so big you have to puncture additional belt holes [in your belt].” (Need fit help? The Blues Jean Bar’s “jeantenders” can measure you at its six national locations.) She also introduced “bold, feminine piece[s] of jewelry” (the ones used here are actually upcycled from vintage tees) and heeled ankle booties.Look 2: Minimalist MenswearCollin is wearing a Joe’s Jeans military shirt in indigo stripe ($185) and Asbury Park Monte Carlo raw jeans ($209).One of BJB’s recommendations for men is raw denim. “Raw denim honors the passage of time,” Cate said. She loves how the “once stiff, unbreakable fabric” softens with wear and how the jeans eventually acquire a wallet outline in the back pocket and crease marks in the hip. For the best fit, she likes jeans that are “looser in the thigh and hip. That way [you] don’t have to hang on for dear life every time [you] sit down.”Cuffing the jeans creates a more polished look, as do the buttoned shoulder straps on the military-style shirt. Choosing a top in a different wash adds visual interest, and keeps the outfit from looking anything like Justin’s Canadian tuxedo.Look 3: High-Contrast ColorblockingZoe is wearing a Mavi Samantha jacket in dark Nolita ($108) and Henry & Belle super-skinny ankle jeans in white ($161). Tank and shoes are her own.“Denim on denim is palatable when you have a contrast in denim colors,” Cate said. We see this idea in the first two ensembles, but Cate has exaggerated the effect by pairing a dark-rinse jacket and dark tank with white jeans. The leopard-print flats deliver a welcome pop of color.Cate feels that white denim “will always be a classic” but acknowledges that some women are hesitant to wear it. Her best advice? Be proud of your figure. “Definitely find a white pair that doesn’t cling to your thigh, but do accept your shape in a white jean. So many women are critical of themselves in lighter denim. Form a little friendship with the white pair. They deserve you and you deserve them.”Photos by Andrew Nawrocki, Groupon.

In May 2014, Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh made headlines at Fortune’s Brainstorm Green conference when he announced that, despite owning them for more than a year, he had never washed the jeans he was wearing. Immediately, media outlets ranging from CNN to Slate were either treating Bergh’s words as gold or questioning just how sanitary the “never wash” method was.
A few weeks later, Bergh took to LinkedIn to clarify his position, stating it was more about sustaining natural resources than it was about sustaining that perfect indigo wash. His point was that most people wash their jeans far more than they really need to, which is bad for both denim and the planet.
Yet for anyone who has ever watched their beloved dark denim fade in the wash, the question remains: what is the best way to clean your jeans? Below, we broke down three popular approaches to denim care and analyzed the pros and cons of each.
1. The Freezer Method
What it is: Stashing your lived-in jeans in the freezer overnight, proponents believe, helps kill surface bacteria and neutralizes odors.
Who recommends it: The freezer method has shown up on countless lifestyle blogs, including Apartment Therapy, but was also endorsed by Levi’s vice president of women’s design in a 2013 interview with Elle.
Pros: Zero water waste and no chance of jeans shrinking or fading.
Cons: It doesn’t actually work. Smithsonian magazine debunked the freezer method after interviewing a University of Delaware expert on frozen microbes, who attested that typical freezer temperatures would not be low enough to kill surface bacteria. Freezing jeans also won’t rid them of spots or stains.
2. The Vinegar Method
What it is: A hand wash in cold water and vinegar. Fans of this method also recommend hanging the jeans to dry afterward, since the heat of the dryer can cause jeans to lose their shape.
Who recommends it: About.com and Reviewed.com, among others.
Pros: Removal of odors, bacteria, and surface stains. It can also minimize the shrinking and fading that comes with machine washing with detergent.
Cons: About.com acknowledges that vinegar can help minimize color bleeding but doesn’t prevent it entirely. Plus, line-drying denim can make it stiff and crunchy, an obvious con for those who prefer a soft, broken-in feel.
3. The Spot-Clean Method
What it is: Instead of fully submerging jeans in the wash, simply wipe away spots and surface dirt using a sponge, some water, and a small amount of detergent.
Who recommends it: In a follow-up post to his aforementioned announcement, Bergh admitted he uses this method most often when his jeans need a quick refresh. It’s also recommended on the Levi’s website.
Pros: Easy, low water waste, and unlikely to cause significant fading or shrinking.
Cons: Won’t eliminate the odors or oily residue that can build up on jeans with prolonged wear.
Our Verdict:
Because it’s backed by Levi’s and actually removes dirt—no offense, freezer method—it seems like spot cleaning is the way to go. Of course, you’d probably do well to still machine wash your jeans every once in awhile.
But don’t worry, you don’t have to do it too often. As Smithsonian also discovered, another experiment “found little difference in the bacterial load between one pair of jeans worn for 15 months without washing and another pair worn for 13 days.” That means you could go more than 450 days (or wears, technically) before a single wash!
Whatever time frame you feel comfortable with, just be gentle when you wash: turn your jeans inside out, wash in cold water, and lie flat to dry to prevent shrinking. And if you just need to tighten up a stretched-out pair, toss 'em in the dryer (again, inside out) on low to regular heat.
